I have had one great whisky. It comes in a great looking bottle. I dont want it to end. If you have read some of my Compass Box reviews you might already known they tend to dissapoint me, or at least fall short from my expectations (which i build because of their great marketing). But not this time. I bought this bottle because i was hosting a "Legendary Whiskies" tasting class and i had some really good monsters in there like the almighty Glendronach 18yo, so i gave this Myths And Legends III to 23 people and i now regret it fully. Myths & Legends is a 3 bottle series by Compass Box, the first two are actually Single Malts, since all whiskies in the "blend" come from the same distillery, Glen Elgin. The real reason i picked this one is because this is a blended malt of some Glen Elgins, and a Highland Park 23yo and a Caol Ila 15yo Sherried. So there is a peat character to it. Bottled at 46%abv, best looking bottle ever with the minotaur; burnished gold color. On the nose, perfection. Oranges and Lime with a great smokiness. Fruit salad, so tropical. Glue. Peaches and silicon. After the 2nd sip it gave me beach aromas, sand and salt. Pineapple and Vanilla. After the 3rd sip it was wet clothes and socks. Amazing stuff. On the palate, it seems like it is just a transition from the nose to a great aftertaste. Orange peel, chocolate cake and grapefruit. Aftertaste is incredible, peaty but very pleasant. Salt and sulfur. Chewable peat, grassy. Smoky. Great, rewarding medium long finish. Overall, this is a great, very pleasant, super rewarding dram. Nothing off-putting or too strong. Everything is balanced to perfection. My score for it, and this is because it lost some points on the palate, is 94 over 100. I regret that i shared this whisky, i shouldn't have.
